Black History Month kicks off with campus ceremony HADLEY HITSON

STAFF WRITER

very February, the University of Mississippi unites to honor the past and celebrate the progress of black Americans in recognition of Black History Month. The month of balancing joyous festivity with deliberate awareness began with the Opening Ceremony in Fulton Chapel on Thursday evening. Two selections from the Grammy-nominated UM Gospel Choir kicked off the event, leading the audience in rhythmic clapping and celebratory song. In his brief welcoming, Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter said, “Throughout February and early March, we are going to have many opportunities to reflect upon the tremendous value of diversity in our culture.” Terrence Johnson, senior journalism major and president of the Men of Excellence, then took the stage to speak on the importance of celebrating Black

History Month. “Black history did not begin with slavery, and it is still happening,” Johnson said. Johnson emphasized the fact that history includes all people of all races, genders and sexualities. “When we say that we are rooting for everyone black, we need to also understand that that includes black men and The Grammy Award-winning Gospel Choir performs during the Black History Month opening ceremony. women who are mother’s most common part of the LGBT+ phrases from when he community,” he said. was a child at these Brian Foster, the familial gatherings, keynote speaker and expressions like “Don’t assistant professor of y’all be running in and sociology and Southern out of the house lettin’ studies, reinforced the that good air out” and significance of unity in “Y’all better fix your his speech. face before I fix it for Foster began by you.” These filled the flashing weathered audience with laughter. photos of his family After telling these reunions on the stories, Foster pointed screen.

County zoning updates and an annexation proposal by the city of Oxford could bring big changes to the surrounding area in an effort to catch up with the city’s recent growth. The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors passed a new zoning ordinance that was adopted Jan. 18, and the Oxford Board of Aldermen is considering an annexation plan that would expand the city’s reach by about 12 square miles.

but not all of it. If annexation passes, the space marked “University of Mississippi property” in Area 5 of the annexation map will be a part of the city rather than the county, where it currently sits. That portion of land is marked as “Special Use District” on the new county zoning ordinance map. “Colleges, universities and other types of training facilities and their associated uses are permitted in the Special Use District,” Hollowell said. “Generally

The University of Mississippi likely will not be directly affected by any of the changes, but Hollowell said Ole Miss students may benefit indirectly. “Pairing compatible uses, requiring property upkeep and helping control the exponential growth that has created a strain on our existing infrastructure, the zoning ordinance will benefit everyone who lives, works or attends school in Lafayette County,” Hollowell said. The main portion of the Ole Miss campus currently sits within the city limits,

Last week, an ASB meeting mostly spent discussing street lamps and sidewalks took an abrupt turn to the controversial when Sen. Coco McDonnell introduced a policy objective that would allow for students to carry firearms on campus. In the week following, McDonnell’s proposal has managed to generate enough havoc to garner published responses from members of both the terrified left and the paranoid right while

simultaneously elevating the topic of campus carry to the center of on-campus discourse. Though discussion of this measure is currently bound to the realm of fantasy, I would ask both supporters and opponents of this measure to join me in a journey of imagination into the land of compromise. Not so long ago, members of the University System of Georgia had their own conversation regarding the rights of gun owners on campus, which left the solidly red state in a brief moment of turmoil. Despite the fear-mongering and the havoc that found itself the centerpiece of debate, the Georgia Legislature managed to generate what is, in my mind, the ideal compromise for an issue of this nature. Public universities in Georgia would allow for licensed students above

the age of 21 to possess their firearms on campus with the condition that they would not be brought into protected places, such as student housing facilities, fraternity and sorority houses, athletic venues, academic offices and classrooms that were involved in dual enrollment or childcare. Proponents of campus carry left the negotiating table with a measure that, if consistent with their rhetoric, would make students safer while gun control activists could return to their constituents and claim partial victory as large portions of college campuses would see no changes with the introduction of this policy.

no delusions regarding this policy ever going into effect at the university. However, I applaud McDonnell for using her position to be an advocate for the changes she believes in. When this controversy no longer finds itself fashionable soon and all those who advocated for change can discard of their medals of participation, I would encourage the Associated Student Body to continue in its pursuit to illuminate the Whirlpool Trails and construct a sidewalk behind the new parking garage. Though these pursuits may not have the appeal of legendary heroism, I firmly believe that these measures are the sort of changes the Ole Miss family truly needs right now. Will Hall is a junior journalism major from Atlanta.

continued from page 1 speaking, public uses such as educational institutions fit in most zoning districts. Therefore, most uses associated with the university should not be impacted by the zoning ordinance.” The area in question holds the land where Whirlpool Trails hiking and biking trails are located across Highway 6 from campus, but Provost Noel Wilkin said there are currently no plans to develop that space. The former Whirlpool plant near that area is under construction “to become a transportation hub and large-court recreational facility,” according to Wilkin, and the university already has a smaller lot nearby that is currently used for excess residential student parking. The Board of Aldermen’s proposed annexation locations are five areas branching off of the sides of Oxford as it currently exists. “One of the main reasons we’re doing the annexation is that before annexation, we were the densest city in the state,” Alderman-At-Large John Morgan said. However, he said much of the infrastructure built outside of the city limits is not to the specifications of city ordinances, creating a lot of work following annexation, and that has held up the

process a bit. “We’re trying to take in a lot of undeveloped land so when it does become developed, it can be developed in the right way,” Morgan said. “With the right roads, the right density and to all the city’s specifications and in line with the city ordinances.” In addition to the City of Oxford introducing the idea of annexing land from the county, Lafayette County recently passed a new zoning ordinance. Lafayette County building official and zoning administrator Joel Hollowell said that before the ordinance passed, the only governing document related to land development was the Lafayette County Subdivision Regulations. He said those regulations only governed subdivisions and site plans for commercial structures. “This left Lafayette County wide open for any type of land use as long as a developer could meet the requirements of the subdivision regulations,” Hollowell said. “In particular, a commercial use could be placed in a residential area as long as the limited requirements of the subdivision regulations were met.” With the new zoning ordinance, the county now has the ability to prevent nonconforming uses for each zone, whether agricultural, residential or commercial.

continued from page 1 “Some things never change,” Foster said. This phrase became his mantra throughout the speech, repeated over and over again with new connotations each time. Foster spoke about July 13, 2013: the day George Zimmerman, the police officer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin, was deemed not guilty. He told the story of Harriet Tubman and how she was once beaten for her attempt to take a lump of sugar from her mistress’s house. He spoke of James Baldwin and his writing on the complexities of racial distinction. Foster also invoked the words of Malcolm X, saying, “We are not

fighting for integration, nor are we fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as human beings.” Following each of these tales of important black historical figures, Foster repeated his theme: “Some things never change.” Foster enforced his point by pointing out problems that have existed for decades, including the vast incarceration gap between black and white people, the segregation in public schools that occurs because of socioeconomic disparities and the difference in test scores along racial lines. He noted that there are many issues

that still need resolution. Foster ended his speech with positivity. He discussed all of the success black people have earned and all of the obstacles overcome. “We have always been a people of seekers and makers and doers,” Foster said. “Some things never change.” Following the audience’s standing ovation for Foster, Donald Cole, assistant provost and assistant professor of mathematics, presented the Lift Every Voice Award, which recognizes those who actively contribute to the betterment of relationships at Ole Miss. The 2018 winners of this award include Charles Hussey, professor Jan Murray, James Thomas and the Law School Diversity Committee. Diversity and unity were the themes of the Black History Month Opening Ceremony, and as Terrence Johnson said, “Black history is national history. February is just the memo.”

TEDxUniversityofMississippi Elsie Andre

Youngest speaker in program history DEVNA BOSE

LIFESTYLES EDITOR

The Ford Center will be the stage for the third annual TEDxUniversityofMississippi event, and the opening speaker might stand a little shorter than the others, but her talk will stand out. Elsie Andre, an eighth-grader at Lafayette Middle School, will be the youngest person to ever speak at TEDxUniversityofMississippi. Andre’s talk will be about the idea of traveling and meeting others in order to broaden one’s horizon, inspired by her own experiences when she lived in Africa with her family. She will describe how traveling allows people the opportunity to meet, understand and empathize with others from different cultural backgrounds, which can often lead to “inspiration and creative breakthroughs.” She was selected after judges saw her TED Talk titled “Travel to Creativity” in Lafayette Middle School’s inaugural TED-Ed conference last May. Lafayette Middle School is the first school-level organization in the state to be officially certified as a TED chapter. TED, an acronym for technology, entertainment and design, is an organization dedicated to spreading knowledge and the exchange of ideas. TED Talks occur all over the globe, and independently organized TED Talks, like the University of Mississippi’s, are denoted as TEDx events.

between speakers and the TED committee. The speaking committee has interacted with Andre several times during the past year to give her feedback and help her with transitions and her overall presentation. Polk spoke highly of Elsie and said her talk ties in perfectly with the theme of TEDxUniversityofMississippi this year, which is “MomentUM – a celebration of old ideas with new places.” “Elsie is the greatest. I think she is very excited, and you can tell when she talks how truly passionate she is about her topic. Her talk is valuable to all ages,” Polk said. “She has remarkable insight from living in East Africa, and I am very excited to watch her shine. Public speaking is an important tool in every day, and as a TEDx organization, we are very happy to help foster that experience for her.” Junior Ole Miss student Will Tribble is the director of the speaking committee and said Elsie has prepared a talk that is on-par with that of the adult speakers. “This event is about showcasing the best of our state. We can’t do that genuinely if

The TED club at Lafayette Middle School was started after student teacher Shelby Knighten, who had previously worked with TEDxUniversityofMississippi during his time at Ole Miss, brought the idea to teacher Katie Szabo. Szabo and her colleague, seventh-grade English teacher Elisa Bryant, who had already been “tossing around club ideas,” formed the club. After the initial excitement of the first meeting died down, dedicated students kept showing up week after week.

This event is about showcasing the best of our state. We can’t do that genuinely if we don’t acknowledge the best of our future.” - Will Tribble, director of speaking committee

Junior Ole Miss student Mary Scott Polk is a member of the speaking committee, which picks the speakers and serves as the point of contact

we don’t acknowledge the best of our future,” Tribble said. “Elsie is a rockstar, and we have simply provided her with as many resources to succeed as possible.”

“We decided from the very beginning to work with TEDxUniversityofMIssissippi,” Bryant said. “I’m not sure who came up with the idea for the TEDx event to be a con-

test, but it was a great incentive for our student speakers.” Elsie was Bryant’s student last year in her English class and Bryant said she has a unique experience of the world for someone her age. “Elsie continually showed creativity and excellent communication skills,” Bryant said. “She’s a very bright student. Her talk can really help others her age expand their thinking and view of the world.” Bryant said they started the club because Knighten wanted to carry out the vision of TEDxUniversityofMississippi organizer Marvin King of implementing TED-Ed clubs across the state of Mississippi. “TED-Ed has really helped students feel like they have a voice and that what they have to say is important. We have seen students overcome fears and build their overall self-esteem through giving a TED Talk,” Bryant said. “We know that TED-Ed is making a lasting impact not only on the audience who get to hear the amazing ideas but on the

speakers’ lives, as well.” King, professor of political science and African-American studies at Ole Miss, agreed that TED-Ed affects young students’ confidence, which in turn, can positively affect other areas of their lives. “Public speaking is a great skill for anybody, especially young students, and the format of TED is especially well-suited because the talks are short. Eight to 10 minutes is long but not impossible,” King said. “Once they master something like this, they become more confident in general, and that can translate into better academic performance.” King wanted to implement a TED-Ed program in Mississippi once he realized the community was lacking one, and he is hoping to create more. “We’re super excited to have Elsie,” he said. “She has put in a lot of work.” Shelby Knighten, who pioneered the TED-Ed event at Lafayette Middle School, is thrilled to see the project come to fruition in Elsie. She said she will not soon forget the sight of her students’ first moments onstage before a packed house, especially given that some of them never believed they had the ability to shine as public speakers. “TED-Ed proved to me that seventh- and eighth-graders do indeed have – as TED’s mantra goes – ‘ideas worth spreading,’ and Saturday, we will hear just one of those outstanding ideas from our very own Elsie,” Knighten said. “As one of her former teachers, I couldn’t be prouder.”

2018 speakers Josh Horton By Hayden Benge Josh Horton, a recent graduate of the Ole Miss law school, will speak on the flaws in the current policies of the criminal justice system and offer some solutions based on his own personal experience. Horton spent much of his life in and out of jail due to his struggle with addiction, and he will provide his unique perspective at tomorrow’s talk. Like Horton, many individuals who struggle with addiction end up behind bars for much of their lives. He will discuss how the current criminal justice system leads to a perpetual cycle of addiction due to the revolving door on prisons, and how it does not help those people reintegrate into society. “I have spent time behind bars and buried my friends,” Horton said. The issues that face the criminal justice system hit close to home, which fuels Horton’s passion to share his ideas and possible solutions for future generations.

Janet McCarthy

By Lexi Purvis Local business owner and Mississippi native Janet McCarty will be the first speaker in the university’s series of upcoming TEDx Talks. McCarty was born and raised in Mississippi and earned her business degree from the University of Southern Mississippi. McCarty also attended Ole Miss, where she won various business awards including Best Idea for Mississippi, Best Social Entrepreneurship Idea and, lastly, the grand prize winner of the 2014 Gillespie Business Plan Competition that helped turn her entrepreneurial dreams into a successful reality. McCarty also won the grand prize of $10,000 in the Advocare Business Plan Competition in 2015. After winning these awards, McCarty went on to follow her dream and created Cotton’s Café, a company that makes all-natural dog treats using local honey and produce. Cotton’s Café dog treats can be found in stores all over the country, including Hollywood Feed and Whole Foods. McCarty’s talk will not focus on her business success but rather on her mysterious mentor who taught her how to find hope through adversity. After McCarty experienced failure herself, she met a mentor who changed her life forever and pushed her into becoming the successful businesswoman that she is today. “I want to tell the truth about failure and share the importance of letting other people teach you lessons and how to be open to listen to unlikely mentors,” McCarty said. “There’s a lot of people afraid to fail, and that’s how you learn.”

Leena Patel By Georgia Heathcote Meet Leena Patel, the lady who is asking you to relive your childhood by bringing your “sandbox to the boardroom.” Mentored by her grandfather, a direct disciple of Gandhi, Patel has grown up to become an internationally recognized leader in empowerment and education. She created the Global Impact Systems framework as a model for leadership, aiming to inspire and innovate people in business. In her talk, Patel will explain her concept of “Gamulation” as a way to ignite people’s creativity and productivity at work. According to her website, Patel believes “Games are the breeding ground of fun, creativity, and innovation. Simulations bring realism and relevance to your play. Together, they will change how you learn, and innovate. To innovate successfully, you have to look outside the lens through which you typically view business challenges- so while the problem we solve will be specific to your industry, the way we approach it may not.”

Jacy Reese

By Jax Dallas America has been forged by a slow and steady march to civil rights and moral treatment for all, and TEDx speaker Jacy Reese hopes to extend this quest from humanity to the farm animals in America. “We’re at the precipice of one of the next great social movements,” Reese said. “Huge positive change is coming to our food system as we toss animal farming into the dustbin of history. We can all play a role. This is a time of unparalleled possibilities, whether you’re looking for a career or a volunteer opportunity.” Reese is the research director of the Sentience Institute, an effective altruism think-tank focused on “researching the most effective strategies to expand humanity’s moral circle,” and is in the process of writing his first book, titled “The End of All Farming.” “I’m excited to give this talk because my research is on how exactly we can solve (the problems in the food industry). I’ll discuss how food science (such as ‘clean meat,’ real meat grown from animal cells without the food safety and ethical costs of animal slaughter) and policy activism (such as campaigning for corporations to adopt more humane food policies) can help us build a truly humane food system,” Reese said.

Jandel Crutchfield

Brian Foster

By Lindsay Dawson Ole Miss professor Brian Foster has rooted his upcoming TED Talk in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, inspired by a story he believes is untold, which he is finally ready to share. As an Ole Miss graduate with a degree in African-American studies, along with a master’s and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of North Carolina, Foster has always had a passion for asking questions, which led to his focus on racial inequality. Foster incorporates storytelling, scholarship and sociology focused on black community life in the Mississippi Delta in his most recent research. His upcoming TED Talk will be the preview to the book he is currently writing, which tells of his journey to find story that has shaped his scholarly focus. Foster describes the talk as “part coming of age story, part cautionary tale, part poem, part call to action that challenges our perspectives, privileges and biases.”

Emily Frith

By Adam Dunnels Emily Frith, a Ph.D. student here at Ole Miss, will speak on the concept of creative thinking. Frith received her bachelor’s degree in exercise science in 2015 from Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky. Following that, she attended Eastern Kentucky University and received her master’s degree in 2016 in physical health education. Frith is currently in her first year as a Ph.D. research student in the school of Health, Exercise Science, and Recreation Management. Though her current field of study as a Ph.D. student involves the impact of social media on physical activities and behavior, Frith explore the idea of creative thinking, an intricate process of “problem-solving” and “problem-finding” by being not just creative but also creating solutions that are either personally or broadly applicable.

By Devna Bose Jandel Crutchfield will take the TEDxUniversityofMississippi stage to talk about a time that she rallied for conversation and equality in the town of Tupelo a few miles away. Crutchfield is an assistant professor in the department of social work at the University of Mississippi’s Tupelo campus, and her field has lead her to some of the work she’s done in the community. After the summer of 2016 raised tensions between many communities and police departments across the nation, Crutchfield presented a survey to a community group in Tupelo. “What we tried to do there was get good-willed people to have conversations about difficult topics like police accountability and tensions between community members and police departments,” she said. “How do people begin to have that conversation?” During her TED Talk, she will describe the tool that she used that day and will advise the audience to use it. “I’m from Baton Rouge where one of those tragic events of 2016 occurred, so I felt personally attached,” she said. “The vitriol we see in society just runs the same script so if you aren’t a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem. It’s something I try to practice, and I hope everyone will join me.”

much better do you make everyone else?’” Bianco said. “You’ve got to hold people accountable and help the younger guys when they’re struggling, and, to me, Will checks all of those boxes.” Golsan’s senior leadership will be vital to the Rebels’ success in 2018 as he is just one of three seniors on the roster. Despite the lack of veteran talent, Ole Miss is ranked as high as ninth nationally in preseason polls, thanks in large part to a talented 2016 recruiting class. Ole Miss will open its season Feb. 16 at Swayze Field against Winthrop with Golsan’s senior leadership heading the outfield trio with a captain’s C on his jersey. 6

that makes him such a special player.” According to Bianco, Golsan’s adaptability has not been his only gift to the team. Last season, Golsan finished with a .312 batting average and three home runs, making him one of the most consistent bats in the Rebel lineup. “He couldn’t do it unless he was a great athlete,” Bianco said. “He’s been as consistent as they come. He’s the guy at the end of the day that’s one of the big reasons for your success.” Along with his athleticism, Golsan brings experience and seniority to this young team. One of his intangibles lies in a quality that cannot be measured in a box score: leadership. “One of the great definitions of leadership is ‘how

year starter and a guy that’s played at four different positions.” While it may be difficult to change positions four times throughout a college career, Golsan is up to the task, and his transitions have not been as hard as one might think. He attributes much of the ease in change to the coaching staff and its focus on fundamentals. Golsan’s willingness to play multiple positions and his ability to adapt have helped the Rebels the past two seasons as they have relied on a wealth of underclassmen to fulfill daily starting roles. “(Golsan) has never blinked when you’ve asked him to take on a new role,” Bianco said. “He’s always given a great effort, and that’s one of the qualities

When Will Golsan graduated high school, he knew he was a talented baseball player, but he had no idea how Ole Miss would eventually utilize him and his positional versatility. Golsan, a graduate of New Hope High School in Columbus, played most of his high school baseball in the infield but has found himself playing multiple positions in his time in Oxford, including centerfield for the 2018 season. “I knew I was versatile when I came out of high school, so I wasn’t opposed to moving around some,” Golsan said. “I figured I’d stay in the infield some-

where, but moving to the outfield, I’ve learned to love it.” Particularly, he said he enjoys the space and freedom that comes with his new position. Giving him more time and range than the infield, Golsan finds that his speed gives him an edge when it comes to making adjustments in center. Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco, who announced Tuesday afternoon that Golsan will play in the outfield, had high praise for his senior’s versatility throughout his career. “He’s about as selfless as you can be as a player and as good as you can be as a player,” Bianco said. “You’re talking about a guy that’s going into his senior year, our captain, a four-

Laremy Tunsil (2015) In Miami, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil started 15 of 16 games in 2017-2018 and continues to prove that drafting him was no mistake. In a season that began with the loss of Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins finished 6-10 with Tunsil playing a key role in most every win. After a season that featured many Rebels’ breakouts and many more on the verge of their own, the future looks bright. One of the biggest questions still to be answered over the offseason is whether Eli will return to New York. With teams like Jacksonville and Denver looking like possible destinations, the twotime Super Bowl champion could find himself with a new home and a great opportunity to continue to succeed.

With the Giants finishing 3-13, Manning quickly came under pressure in what was likely his final season in New York. Despite losing his consecutive start streak, he went 352 of 571 for 3,468 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. On the other hand, Engram was one of the breakout rookies of 2017. Despite Manning’s struggles and the loss of the Giants’ top two receivers, Engram had 64 receptions for 722 yards and six touchdowns, good for fifth in tight end receiving yardage. For Engram, this looks like the beginning of what could put him in the list of tight end greats one day.

Ole Miss men’s tennis hosts Cornell, No. 9 Baylor BEN MILLER

STAFF WRITER

Fresh off a major win against Virginia, the threetime defending NCAA champions, Ole Miss men’s tennis will host Cornell University at 2 p.m. Friday and No. 9 Baylor at 11 a.m. Sunday. Both matches will be played at home. The Baylor match will feature free breakfast for fans before they settle in for their Super Bowl Sunday. In what will be the first-ever matchup between Cornell and Ole Miss, the Rebels will try their hand at toppling a champion, this time a champion of the Ivy League. Cornell is a relatively new program to the stage of NCAA tennis, with last year’s Ivy League Title being its first NCAA Tournament win in program history. Cornell got off to a hot start earlier in the week with a 6-1 home win over Wichita State. Coach Silviu Tanasoiu has been an important figure for the team during its successful run over the past few years, and

his return for a seventh season at Cornell is a key factor for the Big Red. Baylor, known for its squad of majority foreign players, is expected to provide the more challenging duel of the two matchups. The Bears enter the weekend ranked ninth in the nation after their 4-0 start, including a win against No. 22 Florida State. Individually, the accolades for Baylor are even more impressive. Captained by Johannes Schretter, ranked 11th in the nation in singles, this Baylor team boasts a fair amount of star power. Not only do the Bears have astonishing individual talents, but the teamwork on display is remarkable. Schretter pairs with unranked Will Little to form the No. 2 doubles pair in the nation. While Baylor’s rankings and statistics are impressive, its only other ranked individual is Bjoern Petersen, who slides in at No. 64 among NCAA Division I tennis players. On the flip side, Ole Miss has a stacked lineup when it comes to individual rankings. No. 14 Tim

The Ole Miss men’s tennis team huddles before its match against University of Arkansas - Pine Bluff. The Rebels face Cornell and Baylor this weekend in back-to-back home games. Sandkaulen, No. 32 Gustav Hansson, No. 69 Zvonimir Babic and No. 86 Filip Kraljevic all find themselves in the nation’s top 125. The Rebels historically match up well with Baylor, winning four of seven previous contests, including

the most recent 4-3 win in Waco two seasons ago. While Ole Miss is receiving some votes, it is not ranked in the top 25 as a team. Two more wins against a top10 Baylor team and an upand-coming Cornell squad would certainly be enough

of a push for Ole Miss to get on the polls. And starting out the home portion of its schedule with a few good wins at the brandnew indoor tennis facilities would provide significant momentum to carry this Rebel team forward.
